Description:

Job Title: WebOps Engineer

As a colleague (in a team of 5) your work will be around building and supporting the infrastructure and processes that enable us to reach 100+ million users and scale 10x and beyond.

We have dozens of web endpoints and applications in over 900 GitHub repositories (many open source) with languages like C++, Rust, Go, Python, JavaScript, Ruby, Kotlin, Bash/Shell, HCL and many more.

We have multi-million $ interactions with AWS and are using tens of their services. Infrastructure is 99% coded using Terraform (minimal drift or manual changes), monitoring is well covered and alerting is centralized in Slack.

Our processes are light and we have no mandatory weekly meetings, 0 on-call, no need to be in an office (unless you really want to) and no strict core hours. Work is autonomous (collaborative at times), asynchronous, flexible.
